Even Abedi Pele and Stephen Appiah did not insult Ghanaians – Jeffery Asare scolds ‘average’ Kudus
Ace sports journalist, Jeffrey Asare, has appealed to Black Stars forward, Mohammed Kudus, to be mindful of how he reacts to criticism from some Ghanaians.
Jeffrey Asare did not mince words in his condemnation of Mohammed Kudus’ social media activities following Ghana’s victory over the Central African Republic on Monday, June 10, 2024.
In Jeffrey Asare’s view, Kudus risks not fulfilling his potential if he does not remain humble and show respect to Ghanaians.
Jeffrey Asare reminded Kudus that the Black Stars have seen far more superior talents than him and that the likes of Stephen Appiah, who, in his view, achieved more in football than Kudus, never disrespected Ghanaians.
“Kudus is average with the potential to be a top player in the future. He can only become a top player if he has a good attitude. The national team belongs to Ghanaians, and none of the national team players can match Abedi Pele’s talent.
“You have the audacity to insult fans who criticize and appeal to you to release the ball early. The Black Stars have seen far better players than Kudus who never insulted fans who criticized them. If people are criticizing you and you are a professional player worth your salt, you keep quiet.
“Stephen Appiah has never spoken back at Ghanaians because he is a mature player. Those who are advising him should counsel him well; otherwise, he won’t reach his full potential,” he said.
Mohammed Kudus did not take kindly to comments by some Ghanaians on social media who questioned his performance against the Central African Republic on Monday, June 10, 2024.
Kudus, who was billed to be the star of the team, struggled in both games against Mali and the Central African Republic.
His underwhelming performance did not go unnoticed, as some Ghanaians criticized him and urged him to avoid complacency.
However, Kudus responded to the fans with some replies, urging them to be quiet and not talk about his game.
One of the criticisms sighted by GhanaWeb reads, “You people should tell Kudus the truth. He’s not Messi, nor is he Ronaldo. He should stop doing too much and release the ball quickly.”
The West Ham United star replied, “Masa, be quiet!!!!!”
